Peer learning from Cape Town, South Africa

201323Apr

I have the great opportunity to be in Cape Town, South Africa to participate in a Peer Learning Meeting sponsored by Global Libraries of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. I'm here with 6 other US state library people as well as librarians, government officials, and non-profits from the numerous countries that have foundation grants for library services. Topics on the first day include libraries as incubators, facilities, education, immigration, and community development. What a lot we all have in common!
